For those of you being harrassed, this website is GOLD re: getting rid of overzealous and illegal collectors (for instance, they can't come back to you 20 years after certain debts etc.).
Once on the website, Clark Howard has a ton of very helpful links to gov't agencies dealing with this sort of stuff.
These people are very obnoxious. They called me 3 times today. When I told them that they had the wrong number, the woman accused me of lying to her. After further research, the phone call comes from Vancouver Washington. Collections people can be such [***]. I have never had any dealings with these people, and they need to stop calling my cell phone!
I have already told these people they have the wrong number and now they are calling me again, on my business cell. The calls stopped for a while and then started again and I didn't realize it was the same number until I looked it up here. I am going to take one more call from them and if they don't stop calling, I will report them to the Attorney General and go from there. Caller ID shows nothing, so I have not been answering. All they have to do is hear my vm message to know they have the wrong number.
This is Wells Fargo automated dialer calling. And they called 17 times between 8:18AM and 8:58PM on my home phone and 16 times on my cell today alone. I am tired of these people. Thing is it is my ex-husband's acct that he got after we got divorced. And they told me that they don't know that we are divorced. What the hell?
